The chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. So he took unto him bow and arrows. Then said he unto the king of Israel, Let thy hand rest upon the bow. So he let his hand rest thereon. Then Elisha put his own hands upon the hands of the king; and said - Open the lattice eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha - Shoot! And he shot. Then he said, - The arrow of victory by Yahweh, yea the arrow of victory over Syria, therefore shalt thou smite Syria in Aphek, till it be consumed. And he said - Take the arrows. So he took them. Then said he unto the king of Israel - Smite unto the ground. So he smote three times, and then stayed.

let the priests take to them, every one from his acquaintance, - and let, them, repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever there may be found a breach. But it came to pass, that, in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them - Why are ye not repairing the breaches of the house? Now, therefore, do not take silver from your acquaintances, for, to repair the breaches of the house, ought ye to have given it? The priests therefore consented, not to take silver from the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house. Then took Jehoiada a certain chest, and bored a hole in the door thereof, - and set it beside the altar, on the right as one entereth into the house of Yahweh, and the priests that kept the entrance-hall, used to put therein - all the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh. And it came to pass, when they saw that there was much silver in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and brought together and counted the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh; then used they to give the silver that had been weighed out, into the hands of the doers of the work, who had oversight of the house of Yahweh, - and they brought it forth, to the carpenters, and to the builders, who were working upon the house of Yahweh; and to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, and to buy timber, and hewn stone, for repairing the breaches of the house of Yahweh, - and to every one that went out upon the house, to repair it. Howbeit there were not made for the house of Yahweh, bowls of silver, snuffers, dashing basins, trumpets, any vessel of gold, or any vessel of silver, - out of the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh; for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh. And they used not to reckon with the men into whose hands they gave the silver, to give it to the doers of the work, because, with faithfulness, were, they, dealing. Silver for guilt-offerings and silver for sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh, - to the priests, they belonged.
